LAURENS EXHIBIT
AT STATE FAIR
Comes In for Much Praise at Hands of
Contributors to The News and
Courier.
Numerous compliments have been
paid the exhibits from this county at
the annual state fair. The exhibit of
the rural school improvement asso
elation, under to direction of Miss wiI
Lou Gray, received considerable favor
able comment at the hands of a lead
er in education of this state in the
course of an article in the Sunday
News, and Courier. Other counties were
also mentioned in the article which is
too lengthy to print in full. Of the Lau
rens exhibit, this well known educa
tor speaks as follows:
"Laurens county, represented by
Miss Wil Lou Oray, the county school
supervisor, presented a most varied
display of school and school extension
work-so varied, in fact, that it is
hard to do the display justice within
the limits of a short description. Co
operative school and class work was
illustrated by a cabinet and nature col
leetion mado by the Ora school, by a
map of IEurope, made and colored by a
geography class, using -both the text
book and the daily -papers, by a se
ries of one-page stories of the great
war, a class product map of South
Carolina, a case of cotton products,
each the contribution of one pupil, a
history of great wars by years, each
year the contribution of one pupil, a
story of the States in soliloquies, each
soliloquy the work of t separate pu
p)!, a similar collection of the "Days
We f'clebrate," a plan of a house with
full specifications, posters in bright
colored cut work from a mill kinder
garten, a miniature circus and menag
ere in two tents made by first grade
iupils, a fine desk made by the, Trinity
Ridge school, and many other displays.
The one-teacher school Was best rep
resented by the work from the Fandy
Ridge school; the algebra, geometry,
arithmetic, Latin and English paper's
from this school were especially fine.
Nature study was represented by am
p!P illustrations of work, and espec
ially by collections of leaves and a
fine stuldy chart compiled by seasons,
the work of one grade. Agriculture,
which in this county Is becoming a
promising feature of the school course
was represented by various produlucts
of school fields, the baskets of fine po
tatoes from the Youngs school per
haps the most striking. PExtension
work in cooking as well as cooking
courses In schools, was represented by
cakes, bread, candy and preserves,
made by the childrell of tile County,
w'ith a pat of butter besides. The boofh
also contained many specimens of ex
tension work in sewing the emphasis
being placed, by arrangenient of ex
hibits, on useful garmllents, annd cle
ientary steps such as sewing on but
tons and the making of button-holes,
as well as the homely art of darning
socks. In a corner of the booth the
handsome cup wonl by Laurens county,
at the last meeting of the State Teach
ers' association, in Spartanburg, for
the largest attendance of teachers at
the meeting, mad9 a fine addition to
the ejxhibit.
Copies of the Laurens County School
Journal, published by the pupils of the
county, under thm auspices of the
school ImprovemosL Association, were
Disced here and there among the vari
ous exhibits to testify the lead that
this county has taken bI this direction,
for as yet Laulrfih is the only county
that ipublishes such a journal. E~ach
Ceipy was full of interest reading mat
ter', exceedingly creditable to the
young authors, as well as to their at -
tauchmen t to thei r schools, thelir t each -
era, and their supervisor,
"Probably the most str'iking single
disjflay in this exhibit was a fine
modedl of the Trii'iity IRidge School and
gr'oundis, showing the handsome build1(
lag, the play ground with its lawnt,
hedges, 'hall field, tennis court, sand
plile, -andi~ its three-acre demonstration
*pla't'of corn, cotton and oats, each r'ep
resented in a realistic manner. Thlis
model illustrated splendidly the best
modern type of rural school, and tihe
history of the school placarded above
the model told a story of development,
beginning with consolidation, that may
be repeated in many 'South Carolina
country districts.
"Finally, a fine model of a saw mill
and an equally fine model in wood of
'a locomotive and tender empihasizedl
the lesson that all around us neglect
0d talent in the young is waiting de
velopment,
"As most of the exhibits, including
the School Journal, reprlesented the
co-operativ0 effort of the grades,I
schools or communities, rather than of
individuals, and na Laur'ens made noi
distinction in exhibits as the county
makes none In school contests between
city, ruraml and mill schools, the 'con
trai lesson of the Laurens b)oothl for
the public is time effectiveness of demo11
crat Ic re-operation. Lautrens last yeari
raisedl $5,000 more b~y sipecial levy ihan
b~y tile conlstitultional tax."
In describing the enatir'e educational
rxhlbit and commenting on the blene
fits derived from such work as the ru
ral school supervisor Is engaged in,
this educator spoke further as follows:
"One of the most significant and in
structive features of the State Fair
of 1914 was the educational exhibit,
the first in the history of the fair. The
initiative for this exhibit came from
the South Carolina School Improve
mont association, of which Miss Mary
Hit ls the efficlent president, and it
was held under the auspices of the as
sociation. The association contribut
ed to the display a model school house,
equipped with single desks, black
boards, maps globes, history and read
ing charts teacher's desk and chair, a
convection hearter, a sanitary water
fount, chalk, and noiseless erasers,
cloak room, and reading room, in the
latter two neat cases of library hooks
and a reading table. This model and
the five hooths weler the work of the
schools in Dorchester, Laurens, Ker
shaw, Oconee and New berry counties
was displayed and where the condi
tions under which this work was done
and the ends toward whic1 the~se coun
ties are striving were explained by
the county supervisors of education in
charge of tie exhibits, were literally
charged with lessons for the throngs
of visitors. They interpreed to the
eye and to the mind the sources, aims
and strength of the educational for
ward movement that is now in full
swing from the ocean to the moun
tains.
"Four predominant lessons stand out
above al Ithe lessons these beautiful
exhibits had to teach the South Caro
lina pupils. The first is that, though
te power that moves the lever which
raises the school community from each
lower to each higher plane is the ex
pert county suipervision of teachers
and schools, the fulcrum is the native
boy and girl enthusiasm for doing
things. and the lever itself is the
aroused interest of the children in the
work of the schools, interested awak
ened by the broad and intelligent ap
peal of these experts, either through
the capable teacher or, failing the
teacher, (lirectly to this native enthus
lasml. In each booth the trained super
visor had the same story to tell of the
beginnings of school Improvement:
'Arouse the % 'uldren thorouighly, an(1
the commninlt., is bound to awaken.'
And each exhibit spoke eloquently of
how and to what extent children have
been aroused, and of how, through
these communities, have been lifted
and may he lifted to a just apprecia
tion of tile blessings a goo( modern
sciool brings t~o a pleolle.
"The second predominait lesson is
that the sure way to awalen thel boy
and girl interest ill school is to con
Ileet What is done )y the pupils nsidle
tile school wit.hl what is done by olO
aind Young oltsile the school. The
delonstrat on of cIicational proglsre's
Iade by all the exhibits was till' fruit
of skill ful correlation, sewing ana the
drawing, cooking, sewing an( the
stiiy of life, with the old edtucational
'3 R's.'
"Tile third lesson is that the school
does net havlle to wait for equipment
to mlake a statr along thle various inl
dustrial lilnes, if soly it supplies tile
righlt stimTulus.
"The fourth is that there Is a vast
store of talent in neglected boyvs snd
girlm, only waiting to be developed and1(
that their only hlope lies in eatching
111e spirit of tile school.
"Pinally these four lessofls are but
